PLEASE NOTICE ==>>> Computer Lab TODAY:
Tuesday, 04/28/2015
A) Finish ELECTRICITY FOLDABLE
  • from Lab Wednesday
    • by building virtual DC (direct current, or with BATTERY...
      • rather than wall current which is AC or Alternating current)
        • 1) Build a SERIES circuit with only wire, battery, and bulb. Make sure bulb LIGHTS! You can see electrons running in wires.
        • 2) Build a PARALLEL circuit with only wires, battery, and 2 bulbs. Make sure both bulbs LIGHT!
        • 3) Try adding components like meters, more wires, more bulbs, more batteries, anything available on the simulation.
        • 4) Complete the TABLE on your FOLDABLE from the Electric Circuits Lab last Wednesday. To do this just open the GRAB BAG. Then try each thing in the grab bag--ONE AT A TIME--to see if it is a CONDUCTOR or an INSULATOR. Then write this on your foldable!
        • 5) To get all your points today, show the teacher your series and parallel circuits, and ONE thing from the grab bag that it is a CONDUCTOR placed in one of your circuits so it STILL WORKS! :-)
        • PhET Simulation Circuit Construction Kit, DC Only

B) Open this lab, and answer the questions on your own paper... using the Battery-Resistor Circuit simulation where you can see electrons going from a battery through a wire!!
